Factor structure of manifestation of success in the formation of choreographic skills in young dancers

Abstract

<p><strong>The aim</strong>: to study the factor structure of success in the formation of choreographic skills in young athletes.</p><p><strong>Material and methods</strong>. The study involved 32 qualified dancers (16 couples) aged 14-15 years. According to the success criteria, athletes were divided into two groups: with a high and reduced level of success. Psychophysiological characteristics were studied using neurodynamics functions, as well as verbal and non-verbal intelligence.</p><p><strong>Results</strong>. The analysis revealed the presence of two factors that determine success in the formation of complex coordination and choreographic skills of young dancers: neurodynamics and verbal. It was established that the success and effectiveness of mastering complex choreographic skills in young dancers is determined by individual typological properties - perception, information processing and verbal intelligence. The presence of the verbal intelligence factor is associated with the peculiarities of sports dance. Among young dancers who have a reduced level of success, the factor structure has two factors: psychophysiological and verbal-speed.</p><p><strong>Conclusions.</strong> The results can be used to differentiate the training process to improve the level of success in the formation of complex choreographic skills in young dancers.</p>
